Balancing ideals and realities: health care professionals’ perspectives of and attitudes toward digital patient-centered cancer care
Our findings highlight a tension between HCPs' needs for technical functionality and workflow alignment, and the support required to adapt their practice to fully realize PCC through digital tools. Integrating PCC successfully requires organizational, cultural, and workflow adaptations, alongside active HCP engagement in design and implementation. These changes are essential to reposition PCC as an integral rather than competing component of high-quality cancer care.
